Man v. Food, Season 8, Episode 31 Aired

Sweet Moses Soda Fountain & Treat Shop was a Cleveland ice cream and candy shop built around an old-fashioned soda-fountain concept, one of several Cleveland restaurants that TVFoodMaps lists as having appeared on Man v. Food. Cleveland 19 reported on October 18, 2021 that the shop in the Gordon Square Arts District would close permanently after its last scoop on October 24, about 10 years after it opened, because plans to transition it to new owners had fallen through. In a September 2026 check, Google's listing for Sweet Moses at 6800 Detroit Ave in Cleveland marked it permanently closed.

You Gotta Eat Here!, Season 5, Episode 5 Aired

Sweet Moses, a soda fountain and sweets shop in Cleveland, Ohio, was the third stop in the You Gotta Eat Here! episode "Rostizado, Wilf & Ada's, Sweet Moses" (season 5, episode 5), which first aired on 2016-03-25 on Food Network Canada. The series, hosted by John Catucci, visits three local restaurants in each episode, mostly in Canada with some stops in the United States, and this segment was the episode's U.S. stop; the other two restaurants were in Edmonton and Ottawa. TVmaze's episode listing describes the Sweet Moses segment as covering the shop's soda fountain and its treats.

A web search run on 2026-10-19 for the shop returned several Cleveland pieces about it, including a Cleveland Scene item, a Case Western Reserve University news page on touring Cleveland ice cream that names Sweet Moses in its title and a WKYC food article. This entry records the episode appearance only.
